[Episode 9]

Who's that?

Dad,

can you come out?

She's calling you.

Dad.

It was impossible for Xu Yi
to have the intention to kill Nan Ya.

Oh, really?

You are not

getting over it.

I just know it.

Because that day,

he was with me before he went home.

He said he would divorce Nan Ya.

Ling,

you can't just say that.

Xu Jian was the mastermind

behind the bridge case.

He asked Xu Yi to let him
take over a part of the project

but got greedy
and caused the bridge to collapse.

If someone was to blame,

Xu Yi only took
very little responsibility for it.

Why would he kill someone for this?

Xu Yi and I

had got together long ago.

[Tender Light]

He regretted

getting seduced by Nan Ya.

Doctor!

Doctor!

Anyone?

What's wrong with him?

He drank too much and had a stomachache.

Okay, go to the ER. Hurry up.

Okay.

Does it still hurt here?

What's wrong?

Alcohol intoxication.

Get him an IV.

Ma'am, the IV is done.

I know you hate me.

I hate myself too.

Ling, see you.

Chen Ling.

Chen Ling!

Chen Ling.

Chen Ling, get in and I'll explain.

Chen Ling.

Chen Ling.

Let me go!

Chen Ling, listen to me.

Chen Ling.

Chen Ling, listen to me.

Get away!

I apologize.

I'm sorry.

I don't need your apology. Get away!

Give me another chance.

Chen Ling, listen to me.

After all these years,

I've just realized
who loves me the most.

Just hit me if you're mad at me.

Are you not ashamed of saying that?

You liar!

Let me go.

Let me go!

I regret it so much.

For so many years,

I've never slept soundly.

I have no one to talk to.

Nor can I talk
about these things with anyone.

For her,

I've got gossiped about
and despised by everyone in town.

I have no home to go back.

She's got a lawyer

to sue me,

and she's taking away my daughter.

After all these years,

I've finally found
who loves me the most.

Chen Ling,

don't leave me.

Do not leave me.

Please don't leave me.

Don't leave me.

Wanwan,

you're so brave.

Let's go home.

Okay.

Let's go!

[Nurses' Station]

[Benzylpenicillin sodium for injection]

Was it also you

who lived in Xu Yi's house?

Shame on you!

Dad!

Didn't you know
what kind of person he was?

Dad, it's been so many years.

Do you still not know

why I haven't got married?

It's okay to fall.

But you should never fall
into the same place.

He was nothing but a liar.

Do you remember

how he treated you back then?

But you were still willing
to be with him.

Have you forgotten all that?

He didn't lie to me.

Then why didn't he get divorced?

He was going to.
He just needed some time.

What was he waiting for?

Nan Ya was trying
to run off with Xu Jian.

How humiliating that was,

yet he didn't divorce!

That was fake.

It was Xu Jian and Xu Yi
putting on an act.

See? He was just a liar.

Dad,

Xu Yi attached great importance
to feelings.

He was doing that for Wanwan.

What a despicable man.

He deserved death.

How could you say that?

You said he was despicable,

but which man

would let that kind of thing

embarrass himself?

He was doing that for his daughter!

Then,

as for what happened
at the train station,

Nan Ya was the party at fault.

So if Xu had filed a lawsuit,
he would have won.

But why didn't he do it?

Soon after that,

the bridge collapsed.

Nan Ya kept making a scene.

To get custody of Wanwan,

Xu Yi had to calm her down

and not fall out with her.

He still wasn't going
to get divorced, was he?

On Millennium Night,

he said he would.

So soon?

Chen Ling.

I've known you are together.

I'm not here to blame you.

You're really not the one to do that.

You tried awfully hard

to steal my man,

but you can't keep him.

You don't get to blame anyone.

Chen Ling, do you really love Xu Yi?

That's none of your business.

At least, I cherish him
more than you do.

He won't be a good husband.

He's not a good one for you.

But at least, he's never abused me.

Maybe.

Maybe if I hadn't show up in his life,

he probably wouldn't
have ended up like this.

Yeah.

Maybe Xu Yi isn't that good,

but he is not bad.

Raised in a rich family,

he's been timid and overly cautious.

But a coward like him

cut his parents off

and got laughed at by everyone

for you.

He started to become violent
and hit people,

which caused him to be arrested.

Weren't those enough for you?

You tried so hard to get him.

Then why didn't you cherish him?

Look what he's like now.

All right.

I can give him back to you.

What belongs to me,

I can take it back whenever I want.

I mean

I'm willing to divorce him.

Can you persuade him for me?

Aren't you the one
who doesn't want to get a divorce?

Threatening him with a sick kid,

how ruthless you are.

I can't believe
I sympathized with you before.

Who'd know you'd be so ungrateful?

And now you're asking me
to do this for you.

How do you have the brass to say that?

If I break up with him,

won't it be better for you?

What do you want?

Nothing

but Wanwan.

Not possible.

[Divorce Agreement]

You can talk him into it.

You don't want

to be the stepmother
of a sick kid, do you?

I can leave Qingshui Town

and disappear forever.

I will raise Wanwan on my own

and will not bother Xu Yi.

You can also have a child of your own.

A healthy one.

Nan Ya,

after so many years,

have you ever regretted it?

Have you thought this would happen?

I went to your place before.

I stood there for long,

wanting to apologize to you.

But I gave up,

not because I didn't feel guilty,

but because it was meaningless.

It wouldn't undo the harm to you,

nor would anything start over.

It would only make me feel better.

I admit that I owe you a lot.

I'd rather be the one getting hurt.

Xu Yi made such a big scene
for his daughter,

and why would he agree
once you asked him to?

It was going to be the millennium.

He couldn't just drag it out.

He said

he would break up with Nan Ya

so we could be together
in broad daylight.

That day,

he got back from a business trip

and was exhausted

and frustrated.

I made him a lot of food,

and we drank together.

He sounded so defeated.

I said I would always
be there with him,

and he cried.

He said for so long,

the only person he was sorry for was me.

He had never forgotten me.
He still loved me.

He would divorce Nan Ya

and live a happy life with me.

Even if he hadn't die,

your mother and I would have never agreed!

No matter what you say,
he's already dead.

Nan Ya murdered him.

She planned everything.

That day,

I told her

Xu Yi had agreed to the divorce.

She was pretending to be grateful to me.

But it turned out

she killed Xu Yi that night!

Now as I think of it,

she came to figure out my thoughts
that afternoon.

She had been wanting to kill Xu Yi.

I was so stupid

and thought she agreed to the divorce.

[Millennium Night]

With dragons comes joy!

Happy Dragon's Year!

Dragons soaring, you thriving!

May passion be with you!

Xu Yi has agreed.

With dragons comes joy!

Happy Dragon's Year!

Dragons soaring, you thriving!

May passion be with you!

May the coming year bring good weather!

Hu Xiu, what happened?

May you be safe and sound!

May the grains be plentiful!

May livestock thrive!

Why are you here?

It's the New Year. I'm coming to visit.

To Xu Yi's home?

Yeah, I've got something
to chat with him.

Have you finished?

Didn't you see he just got home?

I did.

He said

he didn't want to talk today,

so we'll talk later.

I'm not in a rush.

For a while,

Xu Jian kept calling Xu Yi.

Why did he

come to Qingshui Town

on Millennium Night

but not spend time with his family?

Maybe

Xu Jian really had an affair

with Nan Ya.

Anyway,

I will not believe

Xu Yi wanted to kill Nan Ya!

Why didn't you say this earlier?

Why didn't you?

What are you doing, Dad?

Chen Ling, are you insane?

How could I say it earlier?

If I had said it,

I would have been the one to blame!

I would have been
called the other woman,

or the mistress!

Cut it out!

Then why not behave yourself?

Don't be mad, Chen.

Look at the daughter you've raised.

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

Tomorrow,

go to the police station
and confess everything.

Chen.

No, she can't go. Please do something.

What can I do?

A person died.

Ling...

were you out of your mind?

Here.

You've been a police officer
your whole life.

I've never asked you for anything,

but for this,

we must keep it a secret.

Then how do we solve the case?

It's not like Xu Yi was a good guy.

He's already dead

and won't come back to life anyway.

Besides,

Nan Ya's case has been closed.

The chief has asked you
to hand in the report.

Just let her go.

She was beaten so badly

and was just miserable.

If every miserable person can get away,

what is the law there for?

Even if you don't care about her,

think about our daughter.

Chen,

if we don't say it,

the people in Qingshui Town

will never know

Ling was involved.

Chen!

Thanks.

Lin Fanglu.

Is that you, Lin Fanglu?

Mr. Zheng.

It is really you.

It's been a while.

Look at you.

You look extraordinary.

I knew it.

Qingshui Town

is not big,

but we've cultivated
many excellent talents.

Have you eaten?

Yes.

Please take a seat.

Now,

I've grown old

and often wake up

early in the morning.

So the first thing
of my daily routine is to come here.

You haven't changed at all.

I'm flattered.

Do you still work
in Qingshui No. 1 High School?

Yes.

I'm taking care of the graduating class.

Oh, then

can I ask you about someone?

Who is that?

Zhou Luo.

Zhou Luo...

is smart,

precocious,

and visionary.

While most students
were still messing around,

getting starstruck

and playing games,

he had long had

his life planned.

I talked to him once.

He said he doesn't want
a white-collar job.

All he wants to do is commit
to engaging in scientific research.

He's really ambitious.

He loves physics.

I believe he can make it.

When he came back
from the university in Shanghai,

I was quite worried.

But now,

he's going to Jinghua University.

See?

I was right about him.

Fanglu,

you're still investigating
Nan Ya's case, right?

You were classmates before

and knew each other so much.

Back in the years,

you two were the best students.

Nan Ya had a strong personality,

and she was capable.

To be honest,

I even thought

she would be better than you.

Just read her essays

and I would know how ambitious she is.

Who'd have thought
she would end up like this?

Someone would say

it's her fate.

But I don't buy that.

Let me speak from the heart.

She is not a bad person.

You've got to know that.

[Request for Closure of Case]

Officer Lin.

Officer Lin,

the chief is asking
if the report is ready.

Come in.

Sir,

the closure report is ready.

Where is Lin Fanglu?

He's with the chief, Chen.

Liu,

call Xu Jian over.

Wang Yao,

go to the crime scene

and see if there are
Xu Jian's footsteps in Xu Yi's house.

What's wrong, Chen?

What do you mean? Get to work!

What's ECU's number?

ECU...

ECU... Here.

Hi, may I have Xu Jian on the phone?

I'm Chen from Qingshui police station.

Can I check if Xu Jian

is involved in the bridge case?

Okay...

Got it.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks.

Have you handed in the report?

Why?

Mark the shoe print.

And here.

Officer Lin,

Chen,

I've got the result.

It is Xu Jian's shoe print.

The ECU has also found out

the legal person of a company
undertaking the bridge's construction

is the fiance

of Xu Jian's wife's cousin.

The night Xu Yi died,

the last call he had

was from Xu Jian.

Xu Yi and Xu Jian were supposed
to be enemies.

Why did they do business together?

It's not true.

It's all fake.

I really have nothing to do with Nan Ya.

It's Hu Xiu

who saw her buying tickets.

Xu Yi

wanted to stop her,

so he asked us to put on an act

and let everyone believe
she cheated on him.

Then if she wanted a divorce,

she wouldn't get Wanwan.

We had no choice, right?

Look at us.

We've been relying on Xu Yi's family.

Why did you go
to Xu Yi's house that night?

To negotiate with him.

About what?

About the bridge.

A lot of things

were instructed by Xu Yi
behind the scenes.

He had asked me to find someone reliable

to open a company.

And it must be
someone not too close to us.

It was actually to launder the money.

Liu Changshui is from our company.

The process was

my company would get the money,

and then

the money would be
laundered through procurement.

And all the money
actually went into his pocket.

That's why he bought
all the poor-quality products.

I told him

it's too risky

and not to do it.

He just wouldn't listen.

He was too greedy.

And then?

The bridge collapsed.

But I really didn't know

this could lead to people's deaths.

Then what were you

going to do?

He wanted me to take it all on

and offered me a good amount of money.

How much was it?

A million.

But I didn't say yes.

How could I? It's too risky.

I would end up in jail
for those two people's deaths.

I have a family. I would never do that.

So were you trying to blame this
on Liu Changshui?

Don't think Liu Changshui was innocent.

Every buyer

would reap some profit from it.

He was asking for too much.

He insisted

on making his child rich immediately.

Of course, Xu Yi wouldn't agree,

and he was going to sort him.

So you decided

to negotiate with him

on the eve.

I had no choice.

I couldn't find him anywhere.

He wouldn't answer my call.

This scum

could do everything to make money.

He would run away quickly
if anything came up.

Your chat with him didn't go well,

so you and Nan Ya

planned together and killed him.

You can't say this.
I didn't kill anyone.

I really had nothing to do with Nan Ya.

Or why would Xu Yi ask me

to work on the project with him?

Then why didn't you use the front door?

You got over the wall.

I...

I...

When I got there,

I heard them quarreling in the house.

I wanted to figure out
what they were arguing about.

What were they arguing about?

Xu Yi said Nan Ya was cheating on him.

He also mentioned the act we put on

to frame Nan Ya.

I didn't catch anything else.

And then?

So I thought it wasn't a good time
to negotiate with him.

So I left.

What were you going to do?

I've got something on him.

What was it?

I stalked him once

and took a photo.

Was it this one?

Yes.

When did you take it?

After Xu Yi turned Liu Changshui in

and ran off with the money.

They had it all planned.

I saw

how they chatted sneakily

in Xu Yi's restaurant outside the town.

Did he have a restaurant there?

Yeah, I bought it for him.

The business didn't go well.

I asked him to sell it,
but he just wouldn't.

Now as I think of it,

it was where they colluded.

Sounds like he trusted you a lot.

It's not like that.

He had control over me
with his money and power.

Honestly, over the years,

I really cleaned up
a lot of mess for him.

He asked me to launder his money,

and I did it.

When the bridge collapsed,

he wanted to pass the buck to me.

And Nan Ya,

when he was having an affair with her,

he asked me to lie to Chen Ling...

Continue.

How did you lie?

Well,

he asked me to buy
off the ticket clerk in the theater

and pretended they were
watching a film that night.

But they were actually

messing around in the dorm.

So you're saying

that day,

they didn't go to the theater.

That's right.

Or why would I

buy off the clerk?

Here.

Have some meat.

Have some.

What's on your mind?

I was just thinking

about the day

Xu Yi messed around with Nan Ya...

Thanks.

...was the day Hu Lifan died.

[Hu Lifan, Male,
the son of Hu Xiu, Nan Ya's stepmother]

[Reported missing on September 30, 1994]

Anything to do with that?

He has been missing for so many years,

but his body hasn't been found.

I thought he was killed

by the gang leader who was shot.

Those were all circumstantial witnesses.

They were all others' sayings

and speculations.

Qiu Kuan

got shot.

The case wasn't even solved
when he died.

But hearing what Xu Jian said,

I feel

something was off.

What was that?

Think about it.

If he wanted to lie to Chen Ling,

why did he have

to buy off a ticket clerk?

What are you suspecting?

Hu Lifan is Nan Ya's stepbrother.

They never got along.

When he was reported missing,

only pieces of fragments
with blood on them were found.

But Hu Xiu just claimed

it was Nan Ya who killed him.
